Sometimes life can be overwhelming. Often anxiety, OCD, grief, or trauma leads to feeling stuck, hopeless or beyond repair. These thoughts and feelings do not have to define you. We can work together to build hope and find peace. The healing journey can be scary, and you are taking some brave steps forward. In my experience supporting both adults and teens who struggle with anxiety, OCD and trauma, I have learned that healing is possible and you do not have to be stuck forever. It would be my honor to work alongside you in this journey to find healing and wholeness.

There are many reasons why you might be seeking therapy at this very moment. It could be because of a major life event- a death, a cancer diagnosis, the end of a relationship, or trauma. It could be because of a lot of small things that have accumulated over time. It could be preventative or restorative. Or it could be just because. You might be therapy-curious, or wonder if you even need therapy. Whatever has brought you to this point, I believe that the most important part of a therapeutic relationship is connection. Our first session is an opportunity to get to know each other and see whether we both feel like it’s the right fit.

Going through life existing but not living, screaming on the inside but displaying a different image on the outside can feel overwhelming. At times, you've felt extremely fragile; as if the pressure of one more thing could break you into a million pieces. Over the years, I've worked with clients who have struggled; going through the motions and taking every opportunity to numb out their feelings for a moment of peace. It's not easy being different and it's definitely not easy using your voice. It actually may feel very lonely, conflicting, and heavy at times. There's no path forward unless you truly know who you are.
